Aim: Newcastle disease is still one of the major threats for poultry industry allover the world. Therefore, attempt was made in this study to use the SYBR Green I real-time PCR with melting curves analysis as for detection and differentiation of NDV strains in suspected infected birds. Materials and Methods: Two sets of primers were used to amplify matrix and fusion genes in samples collected f...

A research study was conducted to evaluate the effects of three herbal extracts and an antibiotic –virginiamycinon growth performance, immune system, blood factors and selected intestinal bacterial populations in broiler chickens. A total of four hundred and eighty 1-day old male broiler chicks were assigned to the basal diet (control) , basal diet supplemented with 15 ppm of virginiamycin, bas...

In this paper, we investigate fuzzy modeling techniques for predicting the prices of residential premises, based on some main drivers such as usable area of premises, age of a building, number of rooms in a flat, floor on which a flat is located, number of storeys in a building as well as the distance from the city centre. Our proposed modeling techniques rely on two aspects: the first one (cal...

This habilitation thesis gives an overview of five papers of the author in the area of verification, in particular, in the study of computational complexity of equivalence checking problems and related areas. The first of these papers, Sawa, Jančar: Equivalences on Finite-State Systems are PTIME-hard (2005), shows that deciding any relation between bisimulation equivalence (bisimilarity) and tr...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is transmitted mainly through mucosal sites. Optimum strategies to elicit both systemic and mucosal immunity are critical for the development of vaccines against HIV-1. We therefore sought to evaluate the induction of systemic and mucosal immune responses by the use of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) as a vaccine vector. We generated a recombinant NDV, ...

Oncolytic viruses can kill malignant cells while sparing normal cells. Multiple pathways are involved in this action. The antitumor effects of viral infection on SGC-7901 and AGS cells were investigated. We measured endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy caused by the recombinant avirulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) LaSota strain expressing the rabies virus glycoprotein (rL-RVG) and the ...

PURPOSE To describe the clinicopathological features of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) diagnosed in our section and to perform risk stratification of our cases by assigning them to specific risk categories and groups for disease progression based on proposals by Fletcher et al and Miettinen and Lasota. MATERIALS AND RESULTS We retrieved 255 cases of GIST diagnosed between 2003 and 201...
